Removal and disposal

A CX10x0 hardware configuration is dismantled in 2 stages:
0. Switching off and disconnecting the power supply
Before a CX10x0 system can be dismantled, the system should be switched off, and the power supply
should be disconnected.
1. Removing from the top-hat rail:
Before the individual CX10x0 modules are disconnected, the whole CX1020 hardware block should be
removed from the top-hat rail. Proceed as follows:
1.1. Release and remove the first Terminal next to the power supply unit on the top-hat rail.
First remove any wiring from power supply unit and then from the first terminal on the top-hat rail next to the
power supply unit. If the wiring is to be reused for another system, it is advisable to make a note of the
connections. Then pull the orange terminal release (see arrow) to release the terminal and pull it out.
1.2. Releasing the CX10x0 system
In order to release the CX10x0 block, pull the white straps at the bottom of the module in the direction of the
arrows. They will lock in the extended position. After pulling the terminal release of the power supply unit, the
block can be removed carefully from the top-hat rail.
2. Separating the individual modules
2.1. Separating the power supply unit, the CX10x0 CPU and other components
Place the CX10x0 block onto a suitable support with the front facing down. Then insert a flat screwdriver with
dimensions 1.0 x 5.5 x 150 mm into the locking mechanism, and then operating the slider by turning it about
90 degrees. The locking mechanism on the rear affects an approx. 2-3 mm wide clearance of the module
latching mechanism, pushing them apart. The plug connectors of the PC 104 interface can then be pulled
apart carefully.
